Starting ATI Multimedia Center

Starting from LaunchPad

The LaunchPad provides a convenient way to start all your Multimedia Center features — just click the feature you want. LaunchPad opens automatically when you start your computer, or if you prefer, you can right-click LaunchPad, and uncheck Load on Startup in the drop-down menu.

•To dock LaunchPad, right-click it, then click Dock in the menu. To change the docking position, right-click LaunchPad while it is docked, point to Side , then choose a location.

•To change the size of the LaunchPad when it is not docked, double-click it or right-click it, and choose a size.

The buttons in the upper right of LaunchPad let you access your desktop settings, get Help, and close LaunchPad. If your system does not have a TV tuner, Video In appears in place of TV in the LaunchPad.

Note

TV, DVD, Video CD, and File Player use some of the same resources. If you try to start one of these features while another is running, a resource conflict message appears. You have four choices:

•Run both features with reduced performance, where possible.

•Suspend the first feature while the other is active.

•Close the first feature.

•Press Cancel to continue without starting the second feature.
